"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving tech after receiving reports that the software caused vehicles to run red lights or cross into wrong lanes. The probe, which identified more than 50 reports of these kinds of violations (four of which led to injuries), is one of the first specifically targeted at Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance software."
"The safety agency's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) said on Thursday that it has received at least 18 complaints and one media report alleging that Tesla's FSD software failed to stop the car or stay stopped at red lights. In addition, ODI said it identified six reports from Tesla under the agency's Standing General Order for Crash Reporting (SGO), which requires companies to submit information about crashes involving autonomous or partially autonomous cars."
NHTSA opened a targeted investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after receiving reports that the system caused vehicles to run red lights or cross into wrong lanes. The probe identified more than 50 reports of such violations, with four incidents resulting in injuries. Previous NHTSA probes related to FSD and Autopilot occurred in October 2024 and April 2024, the latter tied to 13 fatal crashes linked to misuse. The investigation coincided with a new FSD release that incorporates robotaxi training data. ODI logged multiple complaints, SGO reports, and worked with Maryland authorities on repeat incidents at a Joppa intersection.
